THE SENTINEL'S SEMI-CENTFNNIAI


The Sentinel, as well as the queen
celebrates semi-centennial anniversary
during the present month.
The first number of The Sentinel appear
ed on the 9th of June, 1887. 1t is, there
fore, not only THE MOST WIDELY
CIRCULATED but the OLDEST of
existing Wisconsin newspaper.
The anniversary will be observed by
the issue of a special semi-centennial
number on Sunday, June 26, which will
terminate the first fifty years of the exist
ence of that journal. The semi-centen-
NAL number will be printed upon paper
of superior quality, and will contain a
large amount of matter prepared with
special reference to the anniversary.
The history of The Sentinel is almost
coincident with that of Wisconsin. The
first settlement here, except the log cab
in of an Indian trader, was only two
years earlier In date. There still remain
with us a considerable number of the
pioneers of fifty years ago, many of them
yet in active life, healthy and vigorous.
They were hardy race of men, and have
by no means dropped out of the ranks.
The Sentinel of the Goth will contain in
terviews with them, and many new and
interesting details respecting the settle
ment and growth of 'the fair white city"
accompanied by illustrations, including
a general view of the city at present, cuts
of buildings as they stood fifty years ago,
portraits of prominent pioneers. etc,
etc.
There will no doubt be large demand
for copies of the semi-centennial number,
and persons who wish to secure them
with certainty should
ORDER THEM SEVERAL DAYS IN
ADVANCE of the day of publication.
This will be necessary from the fact that
one or two of the supplements contain
ing engravings and maps cannot be work
ed upon The Sentinel's fast presses, and
must be printed before the day of publ
cation.
As the number will have a very wide
the iudicious advertiser will
readily see the advantages which it offers
him as a medium through which to reach
the general public.

1t is difficult TO understand how peo-
pie can with charity or justice stigmatize
Father McGlyne as man with whom it
is dangerous to associate. The interview
with him as published in Buffalo paper
in which he announces himself as the
Martin Luther of the 10Th Century he
pronounces incorrect. HID says his devo-
ton to the principles of the Catholic
church would ever prevent his attempt
ing such a revolution as that produced
by Luther even had he the ability. He
speaks with such loving tenderness of the
poor and with such tender respect of the
church that it seems almost brutal that
he should be maligned as he is. He has
no quarrel with the church; he states
most emphatichlly, he loves its doctrines
and cannot be driven from its pale; but
he is the victim of abuse of authority,
and here is where he rebels. DIR. Nc
Glynn's usefulness in the church has
been destroyed, but his communication
would cause a reaction which would
weaken papal au lority. 1t is dangerous
to harass a man of Father McGlynn's
brilliancy and charitable life. His very
errors have come from heart too SYM
pathetic and loving.

IHE failure of the Fidelity Ban OF
Cincinnati is one of the results of the
wheat gambling in Chicago. The officers
of the bank were spectators and DELHI
crate falslfiers. The failure is for an i'm
mense amount, the liabilities of the bank
being S6,Ooo,0o0, while its yice-president
who was also manufacturer, failed for
s4,oOooo. Thus the failure is for S1O.-
ooo.Uo. Depositors lose S2,5O0,OOO. The
officers were arrested by order of the dis
trlct attorney. 1t was thought for time
that the failure would create a panic
throughout the country and the United
States secretary was on the alert to do
all III his power to avert it.

The amount of money paid out for
Intoxicating drinks in Ireland is greater
than the amount paid out for land rents.
From this it is not to be inferred that
there is more indulgence in iquo, in Ire
land than elsewhere. There is less mon
ey spent there for Intoxicating liquor
than any where else of equal population.
But the fact remains the same that whis-
key is more expensive than land. And
STILL next to home rule, the greatest ques-
ton of Europe to-day is a land bill which
shall remove a portion of the burden of
rent under which the Irish peasant groans.
1t would seem that a little effort to make
him quit drinking whiskey would not be
amiss.

THE animus of The Pilot in comment
ing upon the political doings of those who
are leaders in the G. A. r. is matter of
such little moment that it is no justifica-
| ton for a newspaper controversy; and
| The Pilot is so utterly Indifferent to mis-
Interpretation on the subject that it feels
| not called upon to make a second effort
| to disabuse The Times of its erroneous
| impressions. 1t has no prejudice what
ever against old soldiers, as such, but a
great many of them are acting in such
manner as to deserve liberal portion of
| ridicule Every one is inclined to grant
old soldiers considerable latitude in their
claims that they fought only through
| patriotic motives, while every one knows
that the patriotic sentiment in many,
many cases developed after the war. To
be plain the people are getting tired of
hearing Phil Cheek and others of that
ilk constantly braying about their patri-
otism and how they proved it. The coun-
try is tired of it, and if need be every man
woman and child in Wisconsin is willing
/ that Mr.. Cheek and his professional
brethren shall write out in detail just
how patriotic the old soldiers are, and
how much they have done for the country,
and the whole state will stand up as one
man and swear to it. Now will that set
tie it? For Heavens sake believe any
thing about The Pilot, charge it with
anything, but let it out of controversy
in which the old soldier is the bone of
contention

MARsHFIELD, a village on the Wiscon-
sin Central was wiped out by fire on
Monday afternoon. The village is 80
miles north of Stevens Point. It was
quite a thriving village and had water
works and electric lights. A spark from
passing locomotive started the fire in a
lumber yard and the village had no ade-
quate fire protection facilities. Fire en-
gines were sent on specials from Chip
pewa Falls and Stevens Point, but when
they arrived, the fire was beyond control.
So great was the heat that the rails on
the Wisconsin Central for a distance of
$500 feet were twisted into most singular
shapes. The loss is $1,00000O and may
go as high as S2,000,000.

A CORRESPONDENT of The Milwaukee

A CORRESPONDENT of The Milwaukee
Sentinel, chairman of the committee on
invitations to the veterans meeting lately
held at Ripon, explains the, absence of
democratic ex-soldiers on the ground that
they might express some loyal, patriotic
sentiment which would be hurtful to the
administration of President Cleveland"
So, then a person cannot be loyal and
patriotic" and supporter of the Cleve-
land administration And democratic ex-
soldiers were expected to be present and
hear denunciations of President Cleveland
and General Bragg and applaud the
speakers. And this was to be wholly
non-political. 1t would seem that dem
ocratic ex-soldiers showed very good
sense in not attending.

1t is now announced that President
Cleveland will visit Madison some time
during the summer season. Let him be-
ware how he braves the hon in his den
"Commander-in-chie Fairchild lives
there and he won't have any democratic
president about. He will pray against
him and invite the palsy to pitch in, and
then there is Phil Cheek, Jr., the profess
sional soldier par excellence. Phil has
made the soldier racket pay and he has
announced his willingness to engage in
another bit of war; Phil Cheek, Jr., is
so full of patriotic valor that he could
not restrain himself if within charging
distance of democratic president. Cleve-
land will act wisely in staying away from
Madison.

THE foolish protests of the Irish peo-
pie against granting Faneuil Hall to
those persons who wished to observe the
queens jubilee Las checked American
sympathy and with good cause. If any
class of people should object to giving
the Irish people the use of hall in which
to celebrate st. Patrick's day or the an
niversary of Emmett's birth, there would
be great and justitiable Indignation
The attempt at hostile demonstration
was outrageous. The Irish people of
Boston should remember that bigotry
and prejudice are undeserving of liberal
treatment. Those who wished to honor
Englands sovereign had a perfect right
to do so and it was mere rowdyism to
seek to prevent it by disturbance

1t was reported last week that Mr.. Frank Cor
coran, in the employ of the LII. Central r. Il. at
the stone depot in this city, had drawn prize of
$1,000 In the Louisiana State Lottery, and many
being incredulous about it an Argus reporter in
tervlewed him on the subject, with the result of
finding the report strictly correct. He drew it on
two-tenths of ticket No. IS 500, which took The
second capital prize of $50, 900 in the drawing of
May 10th. MIR. Corcoran takes his good fortune
as a matter of course, not being unduly elated
thereby. Although man of modest pretensions
he was well off financially before getting the
prize, and, as he remarks, "a little money does
not bother him." He expects to continue right
along in his present position as long as the road
wants him. He is, and has been for many years,
brakeman on the steam trucks at the stone depot.
He is quiet man and very attentive to his du-
ties, never being absent except when i'll. He is a
bachelor, about As years of age Is of Irish pa
rentage and came to Cairo from Pennsylvania in
1852. He has relatives living here. but has two
brothers and two sisters in Scranton, Pa, all in
easy circumstances. By exercising prudence in
expenditures and investments he had accumulat-
ed larger property than his prize in the lottery
amounts to before meeting with that piece of
good luck. Such prize would completely turn
the head of many man, but it does not disturb
Mr.. Corcoran's ordinary course of life in the
slightest.-Cairo Qll.) Argus, May %.

EARLY Sunday morning Chicago was
| visited by a terribly destructive fire. The
| fire was outside the city limits, but it was
| an institution in which Chicago took just
pride, the premises of the Chicago Pack
| ing and Provision Co. The fire broke out
early Sunday morning and soon gained
such Roadway that it was evident it could
not be checked The territory occupied
by the buildings is 500 feet long by 800
feet wide. The buildings were four
stored and filed with pork, lard and
other inflammable substances. All day
long the department fought the fire,
playing 40 streams constantly. Walls
tumbled and many fremen were seriously
injured but they kept up the fight. A
crowd of $4,000 persons assembled and
crowded SO closely to the fire that they
were often in danger when the walls fell.
The entire loss on plant and stock ex-
ceeds one million dollars. The live hogs
of which there were 1000 in the yards,
were saved and about 200 barrels of lard
and $4,000 barrels of pork were also saved.

| PRESIDENT BAsCoM has written letter
| to Madison paper in which he fercely
| denounces the management of the State
University, insisting it is wholly politi-
| cal machine His bitterness is intensified
by his practical dismissal from the head
of the State University, but there is much
truth in the charges made. The Univer-
sity is used as a sort of clearing house for
the payment of political debts. There is
no thought of efficiency in the selection
| of regents. Locality receives some con-
sideration and within this limitation it is
politics.
1t is simply an outrage that our educa-
| tional institutions should be thus treated
| as political assets. But newspapers favor
able to the party In power make no pro-
| tests, and the structures of opposition
| papers are treated as party warfare. The
| letter of President Bascom contains Sc
rious charges and they come from source
| which challenges attention. But the re-
| publican papers do not even refer to it.

| Gov. Rusk which the editor of patent

| Why was Olin dismissed from the law
| faculty? There is not a student of the
law school since Olin's connection with
it who does not pronounce him the ablest
lecturer of the faculty. Why was he
| dismissed? Was it because he dared to
be a candidate for governor on the pro-
hibition ticket and thus jeopardize Rusk s
chances? Had his well known friendship
for President Bascom anything to do
| with his enforced retirement?
If the purpose is to make the educa-
tional institutions political machines, if
a necessary qualification of the faculty is
a willingness to submit to the dictation
of party bosses, the sooner the University
is abolished the better. Not one cent of
an appropriation should future legisla-
lures make the University until the re-
gents purge themselves of the charge of
using their positions to punish political
enemies and reward political friends.
The belief that the usefulness of the
University is being destroyed by self
seeking politicians is quite general. There
is not a graduate in the University since
Bascom was installed as president, who
does not feel that an outrage was com
mitted by his dismissal-for that it is
practically. There Las been too much
villainy connived at by the people for the
sake of the party. It is high time that
nonsense should cease to govern mems
minds. In any event, the longevity of a
party is best secured by purifying it,

THE semi-centennial edition of The
Sentinel was a library in itself and most
charming number. The western paper
which has attained the age of 80, may
veil assume to be patriarchal. But The
Sentinel has the dignity and poise of
years while retaining the youthful spirit
of growth. There are few papers which
are more judicial in their treatment of
public questions. The Sentinel very
rarely yields to excitement and was never
known to be hysterical. This avoidance
of sensational features gives it a high
standing where il is best known. The
press of the state feels very kindly toward
The Sentinel and the congratulations
offered on the occasion of this important
